Yeah when I read that passage I realized the article is no good. I do agree that you can develop stronger skills by staying in a role longer. The problem is that as your value and productivity for the company grow rapidly, your salary and other compensation will not fairly grow with it, and you’ll get stonewalled, with meaningless title bumps and 3-5% raises. A company that actually values you will give you 10-15% raises per year, and offer significant bonuses and equity awards. If they don’t proactively try to retain you because they are unable or unwilling to afford that, then just leave. Do 2 year stints every time. You have to teach your employer that it costs significant increasing compensation every year to retain you, or else you will get that compensation in the open market. This whole article should be completely flipped around. It should say, “Employers, stop forcing talented workers into a situation where repeated 2-year stints is their only rational choice due to your failure to give significant regular compensation increases.”
